About this listen
In this final episode of our Faith and Film series (and our second discussing Emma) Practically Christian hosts Luke and Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera explore the deeper spiritual themes of pride, discipleship, and the illusion of control. Emma Woodhouse may be charming and clever, but her need to orchestrate other people’s lives reveals a problem many of us share: we trust our plans more than God’s.
Why do we struggle to see our own faults clearly? What does healthy discipleship look like when you're mentoring someone with less experience or faith maturity? And when—if ever—is it okay to play matchmaker?
- Pride, Repentance & Self-Awareness – Why growth begins with seeing ourselves clearly
- Mentoring Without Controlling – The difference between guiding someone and playing God
- Playing Matchmaker – The illusion of control and the freedom of trusting God’s plan
We close with a fun question: Have you ever set someone up on a date—and how did it go?
Tune in for practical theology, relatable laughs, and an honest look at what Austen’s classic has to teach us about spiritual growth and letting go.
